This is the first time I enter a card in the Sugar Bowl challenge, and what a great sketch we got to work with! I'm kind of challenged in using several layers of paper on my cards, so it helps a lot to have a sketch like this one to follow.

I have to say a few words about the fabulous paper pads from BasicGrey. There are so many wonderful papers, the size (6"x6") is perfect for card makers, and there's soon to come even more new pads! On this card I used several papers from the Granola pad.

I got inspired by my friend Elin, she has made lots of different gift bags and also these cute nugget purses, and I've wanted to make these my self for quite some time now. Here's the link to a video tutorial: Nugget purses. I've made mine a little bit larger to fit the nuggets.

Here's a link to a tutorial on the gift bag, it's in Norwegian, you can follow the pictures, and I've made a template with inches for you here, just click to enlarge.

These chocolates are veeery good, they were here earlier today on the photo shoot - now they're all gone! Strange...

On the company blog Follow Your Heart you can see all the wonderful projects by the rest of the DT ladies!

A card for the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge blog, this week we are to use swirls on our cards. I used a chip board swirl on mine, it was originally black, I could not find any white paint so I put several layers of white embossing powder on it.

The super cute image is Susan by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD, colored with Prismacolor pencils. Used my new Spellbinder die to cut the frame, added a Prima flower and some small mulberry roses and rosebuds.

I layered both the image and the background paper inside the frame on chip boards, I liked the chunky feel to it!
